"Everyone is looking forward to getting back to Ballymore for our final pre-season match," Reds coach Brad Thorn said.

"The team has had a couple of hit-outs now but Thursday's match is our first proper 15s clash so we'll be looking to get plenty out of it as we start our preparations for our opening match of the season.

"It's good to be able to welcome Jono and Aidan into the team for the first time. They've been training with us for a little bit now so are itching to get involved.

"We don't have many opportunities to play at Ballymore so it would be great to see a big crowd gather to watch us play the Fijian Warriors."
